Overview

About

The pre-competitive program is designed for beginner-level swimmers ages 5 and older. The focus is on developing a strong foundation for competition in all four competitive strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly kick.

Prerequisites: Swimmer must be able to enter the water independently, float on back and do basic freestyle with big arms partially or fully across a 25-yard pool. Some Advanced Tadpoles may participate in swim meets at the coach’s discretion.

Class: Tadpole lessons last for 45 minutes. Classes are typically divided into beginning and advanced groups. Although it is not required, swimmers are encouraged to attend all classes in a session because frequent attendance results in faster progress. Classes are limited to 15 swimmers per instructor. Tadpole classes are offered all year round. The class schedule is posted on the LAMVAC website.

LAMVAC does offer assistance for swimmers at Piranha, Tiger Shark, Junior and Senior team levels. Contact for details.
